These would be more of an average night - minus Low & In & Say Hey, and nobody has even attempted Single Ladies yet - been in the books for almost 4 months now.

Never been done yet after 4 months. I actually like this one in a morbid curiosity type of way.

Today

Lady Ga Ga -any song
Kings Of Leon
Kids Rock - All Summer Long making a comeback
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
Toby Keiths - Love this Bar and Who's you Daddy

I don't believe the question was in regard to how often any particular song is sung, but rather, the reaction of the crowd WHEN IT IS DONE.

Yep and I was responding to the ones that I know get a response either way that I know of. All the others I couldn't comment, but it is a surprising list as many of those I wouldn't consider crowd pleasers.

Well, I don't have Sympathy For The Devil, but it is played locally and gets better than a ho-hum reaction. It might be a reflection, as you say, that not too many libraries have the song?

As to crowd pleasers, clearly the appeal of any song is a matter of geographic/demographic considertions.

What maybe a crowd pleaser in a country bar could understandably go unnoticed in a rock bar. What may get heads turning in an urban bar would fall flat in a country bar. And so on. Shouldn't be a surprise

And finally there is the mix of patrons. Most karaoke places I frequent do not have a "homogenous" audience (all country or all rock or all urban). So, it depends

And while, for example, I have heard KJ's refer to "Sweet Caroline" as a sing-a-long, because some people chime in with "ho-ho-ho", most every time "Family Tradition" is sung around these parts there is even a more enthusiastic audience response!

I think I would have to say that for my shows if a song goes over well it has a lot more to do with it being performed and sung well than the specific song.

While most of my crowd is into indie rock, Bowie and 80s music. An occasional song from something else from metal to country and all other directions can bring the house down if done well. I can recall plenty of occasions where the most memorable and most applauded song of the night was unexpected in style or music genre.

I have seen many times a song bring the house down when performed well, and then be a ho-hum sleeper when done by someone else on a different night, but with a similar crowd.

If anything trying to do a song that someone else has done exceptionally well in the last few shows tends to be a ho-hum affair in crowd reaction if not done better. Most of the people at my shows are less appreciateve of a good song performed so-so or worse, than an obscure or less successful song performed well.

Other crowds may have different tastes, but this is a generality for my shows.

Sex On Fire - Kings of Leon
Mr Rock & Roll - Amy McDonald
Copperhead Road - Steve Earle
My Way - Frank Sinatra
New York New York - Frank Sinatra
Daydream Believer - The Monkeys
Sweet Home Alabama - LS
Angels - Robbie Williams
Hey Bartender - Blues Brothers
Rockin your life away - Jerry Lee Lewis
Don't You Forgt About Me - Simple Minds
Thats Amore - Dean Martin
Dance The Night Away - The Mavericks
Valerie - Zutons
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

Someone sang Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly last night on a busier than normal Monday and the entire crowd was clapping to the beat and pounding on the tables to the beat - even had a handful on the dance floor doing mock riverdance type moves. But then almost everything done last night was getting everyone involved, that one just stood out more than the others.

A lot of these get done at my shows, some I don't know at all. I'll have to check into all the suggestions. Mony Mony is actually an old staple of mine, . I sound just like Billy Idol!
